The adulterer and adulteress are obliged to sincerely repent, regret, and seek forgiveness. The child is attributed to the woman's husband and is not attributed to the adulterer or to its mother, unless the husband disavows it through li'an, in which case it is then attributed to its mother. The mother is obligated to raise it and treat it kindly.
